November 2024

Newsletter

Happy Thanksgiving!

November is easily our busiest month starting early with an official blessing at both our new location at 11055 North IH5 and at 4103 North IH 35 by the Tibetan Buddhist Monks. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to attend one of their blessings you know how ethereal an experience it can be. I encourage everyone to join us in sharing in their blessings at one or both of our locations this Sunday.

November is also the time when we get to show our customers how appreciative we are for your ongoing support with our Customer Appreciation Sale (11/23-12/1). Come in and grab a gift box from our treasure chest and receive anywhere from 15% to 50% discount on all your purchases throughout the sale. The perfect opportunity to start your holiday shopping and check some names off the Christmas list early.

We’ve got all kinds of events happening at our new event center all month and, if your going to be north that first weekend in the month, grab the the kiddos and come by our booth at the Annual Fossil Fest at Old Settler’s Hall in Round Rock. Lots of Dino stuff plus fun and games for the whole family.

Some highlights in this newsletter include:

Read about Agatized Gastropods and how they can aid in over coming body and emotional blockages
Check out our free intuition workshop
Review Scorpio’s astrological guidelines and moon energy for the month
Learn about Lake Superior Agates and their formation 1 billion years ago
Come hear Yolanda from Natural Grocers explain how good nutrition and healthy habits can support our memory throughout our lifespan.

The next two months will be filled with bursts of energy and expectations, both from ourselves and others. You’ll probably be feeling intense energy draws on your mind and body, especially with Mercury going retrograde November 25-December 15. Tis the season to be jolly, consume volumes of food and find lots of patience. Consider adding a little ritual right after you wake up, or just before going to sleep. Take 3-4 deep breaths and stretch your whole body its full length. Think about at least one thing that made you smile yesterday or today. Now, go ahead and enjoy the feeling. Bet you smile again! If you can start or end your day this way you'll be amazed how much more you will enjoy the next two months.

Please everyone, continue to stay safe and healthy.

Blessings,

Karen and the Staff

The Big Move - Updates

Build-Out of New Rock Depot & Retail Showroom

Our petition to remain at our current location has been approved, so our 4103 N IH-35 store will stay open through the Holidays! Please let your friends and neighbors know so that we can continue to sustain ourselves until the Move happens! Word of mouth has always been our best marketing tool, so we cannot do it without YOU!

Our plans have also been submitted to the City for permitting and we have begun the portions of our build-out that we can (mostly putting up the drywall scaffolding, minor alterations to the existing building, and taping out/marking layouts for the bigger build). It's amazing to be able to walk through our new space and see the layout, so we can't wait to share more with you on the build progress once our permits are approved. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers, and send protective energy to our new building at 11055 N IH-35 as we have already experienced at least one break-in attempt.

NEW EVENT CENTER @ 11055 N IH-35

Our New Event Center has been fully moved to our new property, and we have events and practitioners lined up basially every weekend, so be sure to go check it out! Look for the DARK BLUE events HERE to see what's scheduled at our New Event Center: https://ntrocks.com/calendar

Fossil Fest 2024

November 2-3

At the 2024 Fossil Fest, hourly prizes are up for grabs, and three Grand Door Prizes take center stage: A replica pygmy mammoth femur, a striking carving of a mammoth on a fossilized mammoth bone stand, and the First Prize—an awe-inspiring Stegodon tooth and jaw! This enormous fossil, over a foot wide, belonged to a massive relative of modern elephants that once roamed the plains of Indonesia during the Pleistocene era.

Got a fossil of your own? Don’t forget to BYOF (Bring Your Own Fossil)! Experts will be on hand to identify any specimens that attendees bring in, making this event an interactive adventure in fossil discovery.

The Twelve Foundation Stones

of the Heavenly City: Topaz

by: Adrienne Goff

Topaz shines brightly as the subject of this month’s twelve foundation stones article. It comes in the full spectrum of color, from rich chocolate brown to soft lilac and everything in between. Topaz is like a genie in a gemstone package, with powers to manifest your heartfelt wishes and bring a windfall of positive blessings related to love, wealth, success, luck, and joy.

Many ancient cultures across the globe believed in the healing energy of crystals, incorporating them into their medicine, rituals, and daily spiritual routines. The power of gemstones has been recognized in many religions and religious texts, and Christianity is no exception. You can find references in the Bible to the use of stones, and perhaps the most interesting one is found in the Book of Revelation.

Featured Fossil: Agatized Gastropod

Gastropod in Latin means, “Stomach foot.” These Moroccan Gastropods are related to land snails and abalone. They are nearly 100 million years old, among the longest surviving in their lineage. Their soft bodies are not durable enough to survive fossilization, but their tiny 1” shell is fossilized through a process called agatization. Some feel Gastropod fossils are useful in calming back pain, cramps and headaches; as well as aiding in digestion or stomach related issues.

On a spiritual or energetic level, they may assist with overcoming blockages from the past allowing one to move forward. For those who simply love collecting fossils, these little shells are a sweet addition to any fossil collection.

Featured Agate: Lake Superior Agate

Lake Superior Agates come from the shores of Lake Superior in Minnesota where they are the state's gemstone. Lake Superior is the largest surface area freshwater lake in the world! The formation of the agates began around one billion years ago when the North American continent began splitting apart. During a much later glacial period, the agates broke free from the surrounding lava flows and were tumbled by the glacier's movement. One can find them walking along the shore of Lake Superior. The rich iron content in the region produces the red, orange, and yellow colors in the banding.

Outside of appreciating the natural glacial tumble, individuals showcase this banding by further polishing this agate. A hardness of 7 makes it perfect for lapidary use. We have a small selection of Lake Superior agates available in the Rock Depot.
